John was the oldest son of Louis and Flora Massicci. He attended C.L. McLane High School and graduated in 1970. John worked for the County of Fresno for over 30 years as a mechanic who repaired sheriff patrol vehicles.

He enjoyed the many rod runs and other events with car enthusiasts from the Central Valley including a special final run to Victoria British Columbia where he and Janet celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. John loved anything with wheels, especially if you could modify it to make it look better. You could say that cars were his “first love.”
